Youth Training Treasure: Why is Lewis Skelly the hope for Arsenal s future?

When a club wants to renew a contract with the Star of Hope raised by its youth training, the negotiation process often becomes very subtle. Let's look at Arsenal and their young left-back Lewis Skelly. The player contract has only last year left, and the contract renewal negotiations have been delayed for a long time. At this time, it was suddenly rumored that Real Madrid was interested in him, which was very interesting at this point.

We cannot completely rule out the possibility that Real Madrid really likes him, but more likely, this is a "psychological war" or strategy in negotiations. Think about it, if you bring out a top giant like Real Madrid, the players' "value" and chips at the negotiating table will be instantly improved. In this way, the agent puts pressure on Arsenal in order to win a new contract that is better treated for players. This kind of operation is actually very common in the football circle and can be said to be a standard means for agents to engage in contract games.

Of course, Arsenal is also very clear about this "rules of the game". Their advantage is that the player is produced by his own youth training and has just obtained a chance in the first team, and the head coach also trusts him very much. The players themselves definitely hope to continue to develop while cultivating their parent team. Therefore, despite the interference of rumors from outside, as long as Arsenal can provide a contract with enough sincerity, it is still very likely that this hope star will be left in the end.
